My budget is around 1250 USD. Please notify me if any of these parts are incompatible. I appreciate every answer.

Thats a pretty good pc but I think you can get better for your money. I put together a list with a better CPU and way better storage.

The GPU will probably sell out soon so i would snag it quick if you want it. Its a really good deal considering its about %15 worse than a 3060 but $300 cheaper
That motherboard has super weak VRM's which would cause that system to throttle down as soon as it heats up other than that it's a nice build.
